Jessica Barth: ‘I Was Appreciative’ of Seth MacFarlane Making the Weinstein Joke

EXCERPT:

CAMEROTA: "And then you sort of figured it out it was BS even from the beginning. And so I know that you then when you got out of there, obviously it was traumatizing and you did share the story with people, including Seth MacFarlane. When Seth MacFarlane made that joke at the 2013 nominations that we just played, what did you think? What did you think about him saying it publicly and what did you think would happen next?" 
BARTH: "It was, I believe, two years after the instance, so I was happy that at least somebody was saying something about it at that point. When it initially had happened I requested that he didn’t -- he didn't say anything. I wasn't comfortable coming forward at that point, being what I assumed to be my word against his. A huge Hollywood mogul, I just — how do you think that’s going to play out, you know? So -- but at that point, two years later, I -- I was appreciative of the joke because nobody else in Hollywood was saying anything about Harvey, and at that point I heard rumors about him and was wondering why everybody was turning such a blind eye."
